Not the Deepest Disappointment

Walmart is open 24-7
And so when you need them
In case of an emergency
You can go there
And shamelessly pick up anything
At any time
And pay for it at the self-check-out
And nobody has to know

But when you're by yourself in the bathroom
And you're interested...
Tired
Scared
To see what the test says
And you feel relieved that it's negative
But also...
A little sad
Because of a little soul that might have been
But then again
You wouldn't be able to keep it

And today she posted a picture
You and her
You and she?
Cooing at her rising belly
Smiles so deep
And pretty
And I'm sitting staring at the one pink line
And trying really hard to be happy.
